Trivia
- The film's title 'Kalakalappu' is a Tamil word meaning 'commotion' or 'chaos', which reflects the movie's comedic tone.
- Director Sundar C originally planned to cast Arya and Santhanam, but scheduling conflicts led to Vimal and Shiva taking the lead roles.
- The restaurant scenes were filmed at a real location in Chennai that was temporarily converted into the set for 'Annachi Kadai'.
- Actress Anjali, who played the health inspector, learned to ride a scooter specifically for her chase sequences in the film.
- The movie includes a cameo by director-actor R. Parthiepan in a humorous scene at the temple, which was not widely promoted.
- Despite being a comedy, the film subtly references the economic struggles of small business owners in urban Tamil Nadu.
- The climax fight scene was choreographed to blend physical comedy with traditional action, a style Sundar C often uses in his films.
